cerned the stimulus was attributed principally
to very fair record of business in actual cotton
on spinning account, while fall months went up

| CHICAGO, May 23.-The opening markets on
| Change were unusually active and in decided
| contrast TO the dulness which prevailed Satur-
1ory TIa14 r4n and n,At
| was considerable nervousness displayed. June
wheat opened at SS14c and sold to SS1ac almost
| immediately July and August were actively
| bid for June wheat, after selling up to 8S1ac,
| reacted to 6Sl4c and then steadily advanced to
S64c The clique did very little. After the first
| squirt of activity in long futures these months
| became very quiet. AS returns began to come
| in from various points it became evident that
| the visible supply of wheat would not show the
amount of decrease that was predicted for it
early in the day. Early estimates were for
decrease of 900 900 bushels, but official returns
made ,450039 bushels. Arrivals at New York
were quite large, and went a long way toward
keeping the decrease down. Satisfactory re-
turns caused the price of June wheat to ease OFF
to 8S14c the opening figure, but toward the
close of the morning session wheat firmed again
and June closed at SSISc. At the afternoon ses
sion heavy exports from the seaboard and higher
markets at st. Louis and other points, together
with increased nervousness among shorts, made
wheat perceptibly higher and June sold to SOC,
and closed at SS7Sc. Corn and oats, owing to
ram llSC ulgHb ana yesterday, were ueClue1ly
weak at the opening. July and August oats
were about NC lower than Saturday, at 2715c for
July and &c for August. The oats crowd were
very active for some time after the start, and
considerable trading was done in July and Au-
gust futures. Later in the day the market
quieted down. and July closed at opening figures
and August at 26$4c. July corn opened at 405sc
and sold down TO 403sc in short time. Around
this figure ID was very quiet and steady until
toward midday when it declined to 40l6c. Dur
ing the afternoon session il stiffened somewhat
and closed at 405sc. More hogs arrived than
were expected, causing July ribs to open weak
at 81 221R This weakness was only temporary,
and July ribs advanced 10c in the first hour.
July lard which opened at SO IS also advanced
to Sc IN. After the early advance provisions
remained rather steady during the day, and
closed at Sc so for July lard and 81 35 for July
ribs.
